To add to this, I have friends who work in hedge funds and there, the salaries really are risk premiums. You can be very smart and capable, but have a bad year due to luck and get fired. In my career as a software engineer, I've yet

A circuit split? Is there another circuit with a contradictory ruling?

I'm seeing some confusion about how this affects people outside of the West Coasts 9th circuit. It certainly affects you if you are in other circuits. There's no question that this precedent will be brought up in other courts, e

This isn't very helpful info without knowing what the item is (I didn't see the article specify this). I mean, if I'm buying a cheap pair of underwear and I can return it within 30 days if it has any initial problems, then I&

I think the dean would freely admit this. If elite colleges had a perfect admissions process, they would never fail to admit people who go on to accomplish great things. But they do. All the time. The issue is that they have a limited set o

I once heard the dean of admissions at Columbia claim that they could get rid of the entire incoming class and replace them from kids in the applicant pool without suffering a decline in quality. I'm guessing this is mostly true, save

I think we agree in principle, just different understanding of how to count levels. Based on the article, a company with a boss and one employee is two levels ("With only two levels, a boss and those who report to the boss..."). S

Number of levels in the hierarchy seems like a bad way to determine this. I've worked in a company with 500 employees (and three levels) and lots of bureaucracy and a company with 100,000+ employees (~6-8 levels depending on your div

Ah, the delay feature is amazing. I set mine for 4 hours at 8 or 9pm. Then, it'll go off at 12 or 1am if I don't do anything. But in the meantime, if I have any glasses or other late-night-snack-dishes, I just throw them in in the

None of this rings true to me. I just got a new dishwasher to replace one that was about 15 years old. And the new one works great. The dishes come out clean every time. And compared to the older model, you can barely hear this one running.

Prices for laptops and desktops are way down. Best Buy is selling a core i5, 256 SSD, 8 GB ram Dell laptop for $399 as of this writing. That's plenty of power for most used. Where prices continue to be high is for business laptops, whe

I was very skeptical about this company, but I actually got to demo the technology a few nights ago, and I have to say my mind was blown. There are definitely a lot of kinks to work out, but I would say that the experience was not too far o

As far as I understand it, IPAs don't require specialty equipment and they don't take as long to brew, so you get quicker turnaround and need less storage space. When you are running a large beer company out of warehouses on the e

Software engineers opining on Excel vs LibreOffice strikes me as pretty funny. Imagine someone who programs sporadically asking why anyone would pay for intelliJ or Visual Studio. Even if Excel is just marginally better than LibreOffice, if

Counterpoint: John von Neumann, arguably one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, claimed to do some of his best work in front of the TV. In my personal experience, I know plenty of engineers who don't mind noise. I think it&#x2

I'm not particularly upset about fake luxury goods either. My point is more that if you can't stop things that an average person can tell you are obvious fakes, them how much worse are you going to be at spotting the fakes on cate

The article talks about fake Hermes bracelets being sold for $25, when a real one is closer to $600. It's obviously a counterfeit. Does Amazon not have any requirement for a human to review a listing before allowing it up for sale?

A few comments: - I think the pricing structure is way too high. $60/year is quite a bit for what you are offering. At that price, I would rather rent a safety deposit box with a bank and just tell my friends and family about it. That

A medical degree also gets you the title doctor. The difference between a PhD and a JD or MD is that you generally write a dissertation to get the former, which means you have advanced academic research under your belt. You likely also have

Fine, so take Japan who also has negative yields on short term bonds and can print their own currency. And the US Treasury can print money, but it's got it's own issues with a congress who occasionally has members who grandstand a
